The Sunstone Solar project in Morrow County, Oregon, will become the largest solar-plus-storage facility in the U.S., featuring 1,200 MW of solar power paired with up to 7,200 MWh of battery storage.
Once completed, it will generate enough clean electricity to power roughly 800,000 homes annually.
Developed by Pine Gate Renewables, the project also includes a $11 million investment in local wheat farms to support the agricultural community.
Construction is expected to begin in 2026, helping Oregon move toward its goal of 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040.
